    I have at least three pairs of BRP "Spyder" gloves. Bought all of them back between 08 and 10. They are still perfect and going strong for me.

    I have a pair of the ones you are showing.

    However a couple other brands, fingerless, and lightweight versions lasted three to five years.

    Most gloves are made out of the country. I don't get to excited, because gloves usually are not to expensive to start with.

    When it comes to gear, I no longer buy the "branded" stuff anyway. Usually overpriced. Just bought a really fine 4 seasons textile jacket for around $95. Just as good as the Firstgear and BRP textiles that I paid $500 for. They are still going good, but I just wanted a change after 10 years.

    Seems like a lot of products nowadays self destruct after a certain length of time regardless of level of use. Many years ago I got a boot and clothing allowance as part of my job, purchased many items I had no immediate use for. When I dug them out they were always good. Can't say the same anymore.

    I'm on only my second pair of Tourmaster mesh gloves after the first pair lasted more than five years. Am quite partial toward the brand.

    yep, I currently have a pair of Tourmaster winter gloves that are 11 years old and still look pretty good. When I was still working, they got used almost every day on winter mornings below 50° from 2009 to 2017 when I retired. My summer gloves are First Gear and Olympia and last from 6 to 10 years. That's with almost daily use from early spring through fall.

    Those who say " I can't" will always be right.
